Praying for rain in central Manitoba

Early seeded cereal crops are generally looking good, but dry soils have prompted some farmers to reseed canola

By
Farmers around Miami have been hoping for rain for several weeks and it’s the same story across much of south-central Manitoba. One local farmer said Wednesday he was knifing more canola seed into fields where much of his earlier seeded canola germinated but then died because it was too dry. Record temperatures exceeding 34 C
It was an early frost last week — likely too early to cause frost damage like this, since most of the canola was still in the ground when it hit.
